dragged a comb across my head

There is no need to accommodate anyone at the expense of your career or deadlines, so be prepared to say no more often than you may like. Those old connections will most likely remind you of how far you have come and reinforce your commitment to your personal career goals.

so this was the very last part of my "yearly horoscope".  And yes, horoscopes are probably created by some 39 year old hussie who makes millions just by creating these hopeful day by day instructions.... But in fact this is a bit of how i feel right now.

When I came back from Chicago...i was gung-ho about leaving again....go to vegas....keep trucking.  But with a bit of persuasion from a number of people i decided I would stay in MI ...perhaps get back into some of the things I used to enjoy...Mongo & CC.  I thought perhaps this was in fact the route I should be taking within my life.  The truth, although, I appreciate how welcoming both Mongo & my coach were.... there's always been this little man in the back my head saying "come on, kara, there's more out there for me..."  I tried to hush him.... but he keeps coming back.

About two months ago I had a gentleman come to Mongo and sit at the bar....we chatted most the evening.  He was a nurse....and discussed my days at Jerry Springer.  I told him I put off television production...that the Springer show put such a bad taste in my mouth....that i just needed something else....maybe more schooling....maybe coaching.... He kept insisting that I go back into TV....whether it be for a news channel or  local cable tv.  But I said "no....no....no..."

I've taken some time lately, with all my fuss, with stressing myself out, with tears, and with reminiscing over old memories.... i thought to myself of how throughout so much of my life I wanted to get into theater or tv or radio.... how it was something that excited me.  From Disney to OU to Springer, I thought about all the people in my early days....family and friends encouraging me.... and yet I seem to be the only one right now I fight with...

Well, with all that said...I've decided to move on....to head on to  a new destination and get completely focused on what I want.....  and that's a really good feeling.... to think I'm going to just do it....stop bullshitting around with all these other ideas.  If I find in a year or two.....that tv or theater or entertainment does not fulfill my needs....I can just move on.  I can't quit at 23.  And I won't.
